hmmmm It must be Microsoft up to their old tricks again!
Or more likely you just have to use the proper cheat code. They're all right here on the Knoppix site. Do a search.
The mouse works fine, except i cant get the wheel to work
any suggestions?
thanks,

You can also try modifications of the following code.
Here a setup for a wheelmouse under XFree86 v.4.0.1 as found in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
I personally have used the second one with a MS wheelmouse so I know that it works.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
(1) Are you running from cd or a hd install?
(2) Is your mouse connected as a usb mouse or ps/2?

im running from an hd install (installed this weekend, was very easy), my mouse is connected via ps/2.

Look at your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and look at the post by jgmcbride.
I have an ms optical wheelmouse and it works fine, did you start knoppix with:
knoppix wheelmouse
when you installed?
if no then just edit your XF86Config-4 file and you should be ready to go.

I changed it last night to the posted configuration with no luck. Still no wheel. Here is what is in my xf86config-4 file (from memory, think i remember it all....)
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
The corepointer is the ps/2 mouse (InputDevice "PS/2 mouse" "corepointer"). If i boot knoppix from the cd, mkxf86config after the mouse is working, would that file give me whatever im missing to get this working? just a thought.....

jamie,
At this point I would boot to your knoppix cd, make sure that you use every boot parameter you need ie:
knoppix wheelmouse *cheat-code cheat-code etc
then mount your hd as read/write, open a konsole window and then use:
sudo su
to become root and copy the knoppix /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to your hd. That's by far the easiest way to "edit" your XF86Config-4 file.
HTH

hi there
had the same problem, but with the help from this thread i managed to get the wheel to work.
use this config for your Xf86-config-4, as jgmcbride wrote above:
then, and this is the part which was missing in this thread, change the first lines of your config file to something like this:Code:Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Buttons" "3" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
restart your x-server and it should work fine...Code:Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" #InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer" <=this was the original one InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer" <=change to the "configured mouse"
